 | I’m trapped in a world that consists of HATRED and DRAMA.
Daily, my parents scream my ear off and my only reply is, “OKAY MAMA.”
I can’t take all of the bottled up anger and shattered emotions.
I’m an adult, shouldn’t I deserve a couple of adulthood promotions.I know coming home late is tough on MOM and POPS.
Because they think I’m going to get shot or stopped by cops.
It’s routine that my parents hit me with a strict punishment.
As always my opinion is never heard during this punishment moment.
Maybe I should calm down and slow the pace a little.
Emotional distress can cause a SOUL to be brittle.
My parents rarely see the good side of me because it hardly shows.
It’s hard to talk to them because it stops life from its natural flow.
My mom was disappointed when I didn’t graduate.
My lazy attitude is what I desperately had to eliminate.
Do you think it was fate that helped me though this struggle?
Due to hard work my education was saved from a downward tumble.
I’ll do what it takes to get my message across.
Which is beat the odds and show the world whose boss.
Life should be happy, enjoy it while you can.
Make yourself a somebody and the top of the world you shall stand.
I’m the last of four kids to move out and start to live on my own.
As much as I hated being on parental house arrest I’m going to miss home
Everyone should appreciate my parents for raising a boy who is now grown.
Seriously I owe my parents so much for the love and support they’ve shown.
I believe in myself that I’ll be great one day.
I’ll over come any obstacle that blocks my way.
I’m sorry my parents for being such a stubborn hard head.
I’ll try not to be so stubborn, but helping out instead.
Sorry for not walking through ceremony with my name screamed out loud.
But I promise to do all I can to make you both proud.
Life can be like a full on knockout or a simple shove.
But the one thing that will restrict your soul is a parents’ LOVE.
